ECU changed will radio code change?

I was forced to replace the ECU in my clio, I was wondering will the old radio code work? Is the radio code linked to the ECU or to the car?

    Was on some French cars, you will need the chip from keys that came with the other ECU and transponder ring for the keys and possibly ABS and airbag units and any other coded parts such as injectors.

    You have swapped the relays in the engine bay before suspecting the ECU ?
    Be happy...;)

    The radio code should be linked to the radio, not the ecu.
    1. Have you tried to Google the answer?
    2. If you were in the other person's shoes, how would you react?
    3. Do you want a quick answer or better understanding?

    Its a renalt, The cylinder numbers should be left - right or start from the pulley, Not from the clutch.

    Strange people working there count backwards.

    Um, what have cylinders got to do with radio codes?
